Chapter 678: Chapter 678_1

Su Chengyu ended his meditative cultivation and opened his eyes. It coincided with the end of the battle between the Heaven-Mending Stone and Deng Taihui. Deng Taihui was thrown out of the Five-Colored Divine Light by the Heaven-Mending Stone. He was covered in wounds, bloodied, and fell to the ground. While he was not dead yet, he was hanging on by his last breath.

Su Chengyu recalled the Heaven-Mending Stone, wore it on his wrist, and immediately walked over to Deng Taihui. Deng Taihui struggled to raise his hand and spoke, "You... you..."

"On my own, I indeed can’t kill you. But I have assistance, and you don’t. So I knew that the one to die tonight would be you."

With that, Su Chengyu sent a hint of Sword Qi from his fingertip, severing Deng Taihui’s head, leaving only a headless body. Fresh blood dyed the ground. Flashing his sword light in front of him, he held Deng Taihui’s severed head and flew away on his sword.

Su Chengyu quietly returned to his room in the Dragon Soul Division, sat in meditation, absorbed nature’s spiritual energy, and continued to nurture his Dao Heart and Dao Foundation.

The news of Deng Taihui’s death quickly reached Xiang Yuesheng. The butler rushed into Xiang Yuesheng’s practice room in panic, his face filled with horror: "Chairman, we’ve just received the news that Deng Taihui is dead."

"What?! Taihui is also dead? How did he die!"

These four disciples were the ones he trusted the most. Particularly Deng Taihui, he had the highest potential among the four disciples and had the chance to step into the Martial King Realm. Upon hearing the news of his death, Xiang Yuesheng couldn’t sit still.

"The cause of death is still unclear and is being investigated. The leader died in his own home, along with his less-than-a-month-old son. None survived. The leader’s head has been severed, leaving only a headless body behind. The murderer was extremely brutal and relentless, even the child wasn’t spared. This is the biggest provocation to our Black Dragon Commerce Association."

Upon listening to the butler’s report, Xiang Yuesheng couldn’t suppress his fury and shattered the desk in front of him with one palm strike.

"Damn it! It’s utterly outrageous!"

At this point, all four of his Direct Disciples had been killed. This was a severe loss to the Black Dragon Commerce Association, especially to Xiang Yuesheng himself. It was as if someone had dumped shit on his head.

"Chairman, the one most likely to be the suspect is Su Cheng! He just arrived in Nangang today, and the leader was murdered. Given the leader’s realm, there are very few people capable of killing him," the butler analyzed.

"Su Cheng! Su Cheng!! It seems that I have underestimated you. I didn’t expect that you would dare to strike first. For so many years, no one has ever been so disrespectful on my, Xiang Yuesheng’s, head. Regardless of your background or abilities, I’ll make sure to tear you to pieces!"

Although there’s no evidence proving that Su Chengyu is the murderer, the butler’s analysis convinced Xiang Yuesheng. The Black Dragon Commerce Association does have enemies, but these enemies don’t have the courage and abilities to do this.

Only Su Chengyu has the courage and such skills.

"What exactly is the cultivation realm of this Su Cheng? According to the information we’ve collected, he’s at most a Seventh-Rank Martial Marquis. But the leader was a peak Eighth-Rank. Plus with the Elixir granted by you, unless a Martial King intervened, no one could kill our leader, right?" The butler furrowed his brows with analysis.

"Xiang Yuesheng clenched his fist and said, "Have you forgotten how the Old Ancestor of the Zhuo Family died in Suifeng? He was a Ninth Grade Martial King and still got killed! And the Half-Step Martial Saint of the Hua Family was also killed by Su Cheng’s assistance. If it wasn’t for this, why would I fear him? He’s a cultivator, it’s not surprising that he can kill Taihui using some powerful means. This proves that only he, a cultivator, possesses such ability. The murderer must be him."

"So what should we do next? This guy killed our leader and has surely retreated back into the Dragon Soul Division. We can’t possibly charge into the Dragon Soul Division to kill him," the butler said with a helpless expression.

"We need to think about it long term. If we don’t kill him and he excels in the Dragon Soul Grand Meeting, it will be even harder to kill him later. Let’s keep Taihui’s murder under wraps for now, otherwise, I’ll have nowhere to put my old face."

Xiang Yuesheng had never felt this humiliated. He and his Black Dragon Commerce Association were a proverbial "mighty tiger" that dominated the four provinces of Longjiang. Now, the "tiger" had its teeth pulled out. It could only roar in anger but was unable to tear the antagonist who pulled its teeth into pieces and devour them. This was a humiliation for the "mighty tiger".

However, early the next morning, the butler once again knocked on the door and entered the practice room to report, "Chairman, the news of the leader’s murder is out."

"How could it be exposed?" Xiang Yuesheng asked.

The butler hesitated for a moment, said reluctantly, "Su Cheng hung the leader’s severed head at the entrance of the Commerce Association headquarters, publicly displaying it. The news has spread throughout Nangang City."

"Outrageous! This is an extreme insult!"

Xiang Yuesheng was furious. It had been a long time since he was this enraged. Wasn’t this equivalent to slapping his old face in front of everyone?

Xiang Yuesheng, who had endured to his limits, abruptly stood up and said, "Immediately summon the experts of the Association to accompany me to the Jiangnan Dragon Soul Division."

"Chairman... this... charging into the Dragon Soul Division to murder people, isn’t this an act of rebellion? Please calm down, sir. This is absolutely not a good idea."

The butler gave a start and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

Dragon Soul Division was a state secret department, venturing into the Dragon Soul Division to murder someone was simply an act of rebellion. Regardless of how strong a force was, if they dared to do such a thing, they must be tired of living.

In front of the state apparatus, all Jianghu forces seemed insignificant.

The present Xia Country was prosperous and strong, whether it was the economy, military, or martial arts. It was a world power whose national prestige no one dared to provoke.

"Just do as you’re told!" Xiang Yuesheng coldly shouted, not allowing for any debate. The fury and killing intent in his eyes made the butler fearful.

He had never seen Xiang Yuesheng so angry before.

In Jiangnan’s Dragon Soul Division, early in the morning, Qin Muge came to knock on Su Chengyu’s door, calling out, "Brother Su Cheng, it’s time to get up for breakfast."

Su Chengyu opened the door of his room and left, leaving the courtyard with a group of people to head towards the dining hall.

"Is the result of the draw out yet?" Su Chengyu asked.

"The draw will be made after breakfast. As long as we don’t draw Feng Yang and Danyang two Dragon Soul Divisions, we have a chance to get into the top three. If we can enter the top three, then we’ll be satisfied. Our Dragon Soul division will be able to receive a lot of rewards."

Qin Muge spoke with a face full of vigor and vitality.

Entering the dining hall of the Dragon Soul Division, it was a self-serve meal. Qin Muge said, "Brother Su Cheng, what do you want to eat? I’ll go and get it for you. You can find a spot and sit down first."

"Mu Ge, how about helping us too? You can’t neglect your friends for romance," the others in the group joked.

"Get lost! You have hands and feet, go get it yourself," Qin Muge laughed and scolded.

Qin Muge’s affection for Su Chengyu was a well-known fact in the Jiangdong Dragon Soul Division, but Su Chengyu always maintained a distance.

"Let’s go get the meal together," Su Chengyu said with a smile.

As Su Chengyu walked into the dining hall, he felt many pairs of eyes focusing on him, secretly observing him.
